'When Sannah the Storyteller, a descendant of environmental refugees from drowned Pacific islands, finds a White stranger on her domestep, she presumes he's a political prisoner on the run seeking safe passage to egalitarian Aotearoa. However, Kaire's unusual appearance, bizarre behaviour, and insistence he's a pilgrim suggest otherwise. Appalled by apartheid Australia, Kaire uses his White privileges to procure vital information for Sannah and her group of activists regarding new desert prisons that are to be built to house all political prisoners. The group plans sabotage but needs help, and Kaire is a willing accomplice. But when Sannah turns Truthteller and threatens to reveal the country's true history, even Kaire's White privilege and advanced technology cannot save Sannah and her daughter from retribution.'

'Former Sky Commander Breta gets more than he bargains for when he volunteers to investigate the build-up of troopers in the southern bay region, but this only serves to strengthen his resolve to coordinate a full-scale revolution in Australia. Members of KAL - the Kauri-Australia Line - prefer a more cautious approach: withdrawal of labour and transport strikes, leaving Breta fuming at their failure to seize the moment.The situation alters when villagers in the northern Brown Zone stage their own small insurrection, the Sky Lines Alliance is formed and Operation Unity begins.The final book in a gripping trilogy of a future dystopian Australia, The Sky Lines Alliance is a tale of bloody revolution tempered with acts of compassion as three groups join forces to overthrow the totalitarian Australian government and restore democracy. Pia and Kaire play key roles that challenge their principles and commitment, forcing them to accept that radical change cannot be achieved without recourse to the dark side.'
